Before I understood the concept of energy vampires, I lived through it.
I gave and gave in that relationship, not realizing I was being spiritually harvested. I thought we were building something sacred. In reality, I was being used—my energy fueling his rise while I quietly suffered. I poured into him and helped create the image that made people see us as a “power couple.”
But the truth is, the power was always mine.
I won’t deny that he was good to me at times. There was a version of him that reflected everything I desired in a partner—he felt like my knight in shining armor. But over time, I realized that armor was only a disguise. Behind the charm and the smiles, he hid his darkest secrets. He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, living a double life while silently preying on the very woman who once prayed for him.
He wore a mask. He had an agenda. And he used me as his source.
He fed off me spiritually, emotionally, financially, and sexually. He reaped blessings while I sank deeper into despair. Suddenly, his luck turned: lottery wins, casino jackpots, job offers falling into his lap. His life began to bloom.
Meanwhile, everything I touched began to unravel.
Yes, he did share with me—his gestures often felt sincere in the moment. But in hindsight, some of them seem more like love bombing or guilt-driven offerings than acts of genuine intention. He supported me in beautiful ways, and I can’t fully discredit what he once meant to me. But there are people who can love you deeply and still wound you just as deeply. I now see him as the kind of person who would steal from me, then help me search for what he took—pretending to care the whole time. Looking back, I realize I was catfished by a spiritual romance scammer.
My business hit roadblocks. My dreams stalled. My energy dropped. No matter how hard I worked, nothing flowed—until I realized: he was stealing my blessings. Cloaking himself in my light. Feeding off my divine essence to power his own life.
He was an energy vampire—and I was the supply.
And once I was drained, he discarded me—tossed me aside like I never mattered. He kicked me off the pedestal I helped build and replaced me for shallow, surface-level reasons. He didn’t recognize the divinity within me or the blessing I was in his life. Instead, he ran toward an illusion, when I was likely the realest person he had ever known.
Beware of the energy vampire. Their behavior is rooted in a constant need for validation, admiration, and control. Narcissists can be the most potent energy vampires. They tend to manipulate, gaslight, and emotionally drain others to maintain a sense of superiority and power. They thrive off your emotional reactions—whether it’s praise, fear, frustration, or attention—and can leave you feeling depleted, confused, and unworthy.
If you’re a highly empathetic or nurturing person, you’re especially vulnerable to their energy-draining tactics. It is very important to protect your energy. Protect your energy by setting firm boundaries, limiting contact, and refusing to engage in emotional manipulation or guilt tactics. Ground yourself daily through prayer, meditation, or spiritual cleansing to stay aligned with your inner power and divine protection.
